Kimberley

Known for its abundant sunshine, dry Purcell powder, and uncrowded slopes, Kimberley is a hidden treasure that blends world-class skiing with a welcoming, small-town vibe. The ski-in/ski-out village makes it easy to hit the slopes, grab a bite, and settle into après without ever needing your car. Add in a charming Bavarian-style town just minutes away, and you’ve got a destination where the skiing is big, but the atmosphere stays friendly and intimate.

Kimberley delivers it all: Big skiing, small-town soul, no lift lines and lots of sunshine

Overview

Overview

Kimberley Alpine Resort is a family-friendly ski destination that balances approachable terrain with serious ski experiences. With 1,800 acres of skiable terrain across 80 runs, it’s best known for its wide, rolling groomers, perfect for beginners and intermediates, alongside gladed tree skiing that challenges advanced riders. One of the standout features is its night skiing, with North America’s longest illuminated run providing a unique after-dark adventure.

The resort sits in a sunny pocket of the Purcells, boasting more bluebird days than most Canadian ski destinations, meaning you’re just as likely to get warm sun on your face as powder under your feet. The purpose-built ski-in/ski-out village keeps everything convenient, while the nearby town of Kimberley adds extra charm with its Bavarian-inspired architecture, cosy cafés, and local breweries. With shorter lift lines, affordable prices, and a warm, welcoming vibe, Kimberley is perfect for families, first-timers, and anyone seeking a more relaxed, authentic Canadian ski holiday.
